To altwhom it may concern:

. Be it'known that I, EDWIN A; HALL, of;

Hyde Park, in th'e county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented certain' new and'useful Improvements in Phonograph-Gabinets, ofwhich the following This inventibn relates to a cabinet used forsupporting a ing the, phonograph.

The invention has for its'object to enable the sound amplifying horn'ofa phonograph. 1

tobe contained mainly: Within the said. cabinet, so that the entireoutfit, including cabinet and the horn,

. will-.b e reduced' to compact-form, and the a construction andarrangement of disadvantage and inconvenience of; a hornprojectingoutwardly above the phonograph will beiobviated. r

' The invention consists of an graph cabinet and a phonographhornlocated in'saidcabinet-and its connection with the traveling diaphragmOf the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis-specification,Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a phonographcabinet "embodying my invent on} and --a phonograph supported thereon.,resent's' an end elevation, {shown in section.- a v 4 The same lettersf-reference indicate the I Fig. 2 rep same parts in all the figures.

here shown, the records are; supported. on slides'c .ha-vi-ng 'front endpiecesof, which closeopeningsprovidedin the front of the: cabinet forthe insertion and removal of slidesand. records. i n V In carrying outmy invention I devote. a portion'of the'interior ofthe cabinet to thestorage of" the sound amplifying born c,

he outfit as a whole, in-

appearance 'prethe horn and the cabinet, is therefore reduced 'to acompact form, and presents a much more desirable appearance than-anoutfit'in which the horn projects above the phonograph, as usual.

, I'have- -here shown the horn located mid-1 'Way between the ends ofthe cabinet, the,

spaces between the sides of the horn and the ends of the cabinet bein.utilized to hold narrow record carrying s ides.

I have found that inpractice the horn 15-. cated in the cabinet asshown,

dinary horn supported in the usual manner. '.-I- claim: 7 phonographcabinet having horn-receivmg openings in its top and'one side, a hornwith an extended curved neck formed in one "piece, the main body of thehorn being with- V emits-a'clearer, smoother and .more dlstlnct tonethan an or- .1n the cabinet, with its mouth in the side opening,

N

whereof I have aflixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
